Why the "spams" tokens aren't that bad.Let's start from the beginning...
1. Waves is a fee-marketAnyone can lease, it's easy and only require the user to hodl the coins.
No coins will be ever created. It mean that the total amount of available Waves can only decrease (= peoples losing their seed).
Leasing/mining is to collect fees only.
2. How fees are generated on the blockchain ?Any transaction require a fee.
Creating a token require a fee.
Using the DEX require a fee.
Even the "spam" tokens generate some fees though the DEX or common transactions.
3. Leasing/mining rewards analysisAccording to
http://dev.pywaves.org/generators/, the last 24h generated a revenue of 2BTC.
A month ago it was around 1BTC.
But the total amount of coins used to lease/mine didn't moved a lot (stuck to 37M).
So the reward will continue to climb as the network generate more and more fees, also as the price per Waves is growing.
Even spam tokens are healthy for the networks.
4. How to fight those "spam" tokens ?The issue is that peoples get lured or bored.
The Waves team is working on unique asset names. It's a first step.
Then, they should work on some filters on the lite client to hide/show the tokens we want or not.
The fee to create a token is good and shouldn't be increased. The more tokens we have, and the more the network will be valuable.
5. ConclusionI'm happy to see Waves growing, even with the bad side of that grow.
It's important for miners/leasers to have new users that use the features I shown on 2.
Good or bad they should release a spam filter if they do that, it would be awesome in every way possible.
